truck looks killer man! you've got quite a few mods into... do you do your own work? just curious

one question regarding the lift, and i am not knocking the way you built your truck so please dont take this offensively. why did you choose both 8" lift and the cut out flares? it seems you have plenty of room to fit bigger tires or you really flex the truck out on the trail.

well.. first off those are not cut out flares... their just the regular bushwacker pocket style...

i choose a 8" lift because i wanted to easily clear 37's with flexing... this truck is def not a trailer queen...

it looks like i have plenty of space because of my front bumper and how its a tube style on the side... if not it would look like i could barely fit them...

lol i love my roof rack....

i did see a drop in MPG and i do get wind noise on the highway... i saw around a 1mg-2mpg drop on the highway... but i say its worth it lol

i also had to drill 12 1/2" wholes for the mounts and 1 1" hole for the wires for the lights...

and dont get me started on how much a PITA it was to get those lights wired.. i sued around 300ft of wire to get all 4 lights working... i also had to drop the head liner to do it, pull of the pillar w/ all the gauges....

it was a total around 8-10 hours of work to get it done....
